AWS IoT Device SDK for C++ v2

This document provides information about the AWS IoT device SDK for C++ V2.

If you have any issues or feature requests, please file an issue or pull request.

This SDK is built on the AWS Common Runtime, a collection of libraries (aws-c-common, aws-c-io, aws-c-mqtt, aws-c-http, aws-c-cal, aws-c-auth, s2n...) written in C to be cross-platform, high-performance, secure, and reliable. The libraries are bound to C++ by the aws-crt-cpp package.

Installation

Minimum Requirements

• C++ 11 or higher
• CMake 3.1+
• Clang 3.9+ or GCC 4.8+ or MSVC 2015+

Build from source

Automatically Build and Install AWS Dependencies

Note: -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX can be any path where the project needs to be installed. Taking sdk-cpp-workspace as an example here.

MacOS and Linux

mkdir sdk-cpp-workspace
cd sdk-cpp-workspace
git clone --recursive https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2.git
mkdir aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2-build
cd aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2-build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<absolute path sdk-cpp-workspace dir>" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="<Release|RelWithDebInfo|Debug>" ../aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2
cmake --build . --target install

Windows

mkdir sdk-cpp-workspace
cd sdk-cpp-workspace
git clone --recursive https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2.git
mkdir aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2-build
cd aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2-build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<absolute path sdk-cpp-workspace dir>" ../aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2
cmake --build . --target install --config "<Release|RelWithDebInfo|Debug>"

Due to maximum path length limitations in the Windows API, we recommend cloning to a short path like: C:\dev\iotsdk

--config is only REQUIRED for multi-configuration build tools (VisualStudio/MsBuild being the most common).
